Glad to hear! Only one incision of mine hurts. Every time I fall asleep a nurse comes in or my iv pumps starts beeping like crazy. Lol! Awesome nursing staff here so can't complain. Are you staying 2 nights? I'm also slowly switching pain meds from morphine to liquid loratab...I think they make it taste bad so u won't want to take it. Haha! ;) your table is so clean! ;)

Do you feel pressure on your chest area?

A liitle bit below the chest off and on. The vision was from the anesthesia wearing off.

Feeling good! Just got released and headed home to my own bed. How did your leak test go? I'm surprised they didn't do that while u were still under anesthesia.

How are you feeling?

Feeling better today. First two days were pretty bad with nausea and pain. Couldn't keep meds down, but I can now. i came home today. Trying to sleep it off. I still have chest pain when I drink cold things, but feel like I'm turning the corner.

One thing I can say I have not has nausea as of yet. Pain yes. Pain like from incisions. The pain is till there. chest pains come and go but I guess is just the process. I'm home now and I feel like ideas doing so much better in the hospital. I was able to bring my Meds down by crushing them and drinking it with Water.< /p>

Hey girls. I think I'm over the gas pains but 2 of my incisions still hurt. They are just tender and since I have a cold it hurts to cough. They are bruised pretty good but the bruises aren't huge. I don't even want to get on the scale yet. Lol! Are y'all wearing a binder around your stomach? I think it helps. I'm just sip sip sippin on Water right now. :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
